On the opening day of President Trump’s state visit, former US Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo slammed the Labour government and Keir Starmer over their dogdy deal to give away The \chagos Islands (aka British Indian Ocean territory.)
Asked about Labour’s Chaogs sellout, Secretary Pompeo did not mince words. “That’s nuts, folks” is how he described the UK’s decision to hand over the tiny but strategically important Chagos Islands to Mauritius.
The American diplomat who served as the Director of the CIA during Donald Trump’s first administration had been speaking at a Policy Exchange event yesterday. The Telegraph had previously reported on Mr Pompeo’s view on the deal, that UK control of the islands
Pompeo also had some decidedly undiplomatic words for Starmer’s National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell: “He’s strategically an absolute fool… it is a small group of islands… no one does travel there, but a lot of military power can and will move through there in the event that we need it… you will have Chinese power projection from that place… you do not want Chinese aircraft flying over Europe out of these islands, that’s nuts”. Pompeo called on Starmer to scrap the Chagos deal and said he thought the US could still reverse it. "
The former Secretary of State concluded, "In the event that we need it and if we hand it over, we all know the storyline with Mauritius. Mauritius is a close ally of the Chinese Communist Party and not only will we lose it, but you will have Chinese power projection from that place.”
Anyone who follows world news will be well aware that not only does this deal expose the UK and our closest military aly to security risks, if expert warnings are to be heeded; it will also leave our public finances with a gaping hole to the tune of £47 bn over the next century, according to the TaxPayers’ Alliance because not only does the deal involve giving away a British owned territory, it binds us to renting back our former posession from a tiny island with an economy dependent on tourism unitl the Chinese government started subsidising the local Marxist gangster regime.
Though it ought to have been belittling for Starmer to hear or learn of a foreign diplomat questioning the sanity of our leaders, the man is totally without shame and his lack of self awareness it matched by his economic incomeptence. The most strinking thing about the attack was the clarity of Mr Pompeo’s thoughts on the subject of global security and his willingness to express them in no uncertain terms. It had been a while since we had a senior politician prepared for his arguments to be examined, challenged, even refuted.
Apart from the security question, how on earth do Mauritius have any claim on that they’ve never occupied and is 1000 miles from there. Also the indigenous peoples have been ridden roughshod over and given no say at all. How much of the money has been spent on lawyers fees including our own ?
Those of us who are sceptical by nature might easily suspect that the idea to give away the Chagos archipelago may have originated with Lord Hermer, Kweir Starmer's bum chum (allegedly,) fellow Human Rights lawyer and former colleague and fellow idiot. Starmer (from the Human Rights lawyer's club that they both 'lived in') would not see what there was to object to, as both are convinced there is such a thing as International Law. Giving up a strategic island that 'we actually own' then promising millions of £s per year, ad infinitum, to rent it back. Where is the flaw in that plan?
Starmer, after all also cannot see the downside to reducing our business competitiveness by imposing higher taxes on the British population and British business in order to give higher wages to public sector workers, illegal immigrants, the idle and feckless and our bloated NHS!
Under the current leader The Labour Party is a passive rule-taker, quick to bend the knee to the racist thugs of Black Lives Matter, totally unwilling to defend the rights of British citizens and subjects in overseas territories. They are more afraid of offending the United Nations institutions, like the WHO and ICC than they are of incurring the wrath of leftist tyrants by defending the British poeople. They are prepared to arrest Netanyahu, for instance, but not President Xi of China, despite Chinese oppression of Uighurs, simply because the ICC hasn't ruled on the matter. Actual morality is an alien concept to them. It's all about being seen to do the right thing, not actually doing the right thing. Rule by legal technicality - the letter of the law - rather than by law - the spirit of the law - that should in fact animate a proper government.
Starmer and his Ministers are just crazy, socialist, fools who do not appear to possess a single brain cell between the lot of them!
